This year when in France, I noticed that if you used the self service petrol stations, petrol / diesel was a lot cheaper than using a manned petrol station.
As I do not own a credit card (through own preference), I was pondering getting a prepaid card from Travelex. Only problem is I can't find details of what charges are imposed using these abroad.
All the blurb go on about how easy they are to use, but would like some reassurance from somebody who has experiance using one, ie in shops, petrol stations, restaurants & @ ATM's, charges etc, before I commit myself.
Many thanks in advance re any replies
Edit: Sorry didn't notice topic already started below Jim
Prepaid cards can be fantastic just be sure to make thorough comparisons between different providers and always check the small print. Minimum purchase amounts are often required or a % surcharge is imposed, same with cash machine withdrawals.
